One night in bangkok lyrics

The AmericanBangkok, Oriental SettingBut the city don't know what the city is gettingThe crème de la crème of the chess worldIn a show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies – doesn't seem a Reed full lyricsminuteSince the Tyrolean spa had the chess boards in itAll changed, don't you know that when youPlay at this level there's no ordinary venue

It's Iceland, or the Philippines, or HastingsOr Or this place!

CompanyOne night in Bangkok and the world's your oysterThe bars are temples but their pearls ain't freeYou'll find a god in every golden cloisterAnd if you're lucky, then the god's a sheI can feel an angel slidin' up to me

The AmericanOne town's very like anotherWhen your head's down over your pieces, brother

CompanyIt's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pityTo be looking at the board not looking at the city

The AmericanWhattaya mean?!You've seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town

CompanyT-girls1, warm and sweet (sweet)Some are set up In the Somerset Maugham suite

The AmericanGet Thai'd, you're talking to a touristWhose every move's among the purest:"I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine"

CompanyOne night in Bangkok makes the hard man humbleNot much between despair and ecstasyOne night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumbleCan't be too careful with your companyI can feel the devil walking next to me

The AmericanSiam's gonna be the witnessTo the ultimate test of cerebral fitnessThis grips me more than would a muddy old riverOr reclining Buddha

But thank God I'm only watching the gameControlling it

I don't see you guys ratingThe kind of mate I'm contemplatingI'd let you watch, I would invite youBut the queens we use would not excite you

So, you better go back to your barsYour temples, your massage parlors

CompanyOne night in Bangkok and the world's your oysterThe bars are temples but their pearls ain't freeYou'll find a god in every golden cloisterA little flesh, a little historyI can feel an angel slidin' up to me

One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humbleNot much between despair and ecstasyOne night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumbleCan't be too careful with your companyI can feel the devil walking next to me
